On **October 3rd, 2024**, Firefly flight FY-1424, an ATR-72 aircraft en route from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, returned to Kuala Lumpur shortly after takeoff due to smoke in the cabin. The crew halted the climb at 4,300 feet and safely landed about 20 minutes after departure. The airline later reported that the smoke was caused by an extraction fan failure, which led to the air conditioning system overheating.
